智能时代的人机交互范式

Interaction paradigm in intelligent systems

本文首先介绍范式的含义,然后讨论人机交互领域中范式这一概念的使用.以人机交互领域最有影响力的WIMP范式为例,讨论界面范式所包含的主要成分,并在此基础上分析了目前主要的智能系统的界面的特点和不足.最后本文提出了针对智能系统界面设计的RMCP界面范式,强调智能系统界面设计需要考虑系统的角色(role)、交互模态(modal)、交互命令(commands)和信息展示方式(presentation style)这几个基本因素.

This paper discusses the user interface design paradigm for intelligent systems. We first introduce the concepts of paradigm in science and human-computer interaction （HCI）. After discussing the WIMP （windows, icons, menus, a pointing device） paradigm, the most influential user interface design paradigm in HCI, we summarize the major components a user interface paradigm usually takes into consideration, and based on this summarization, we analyze the features as well as limitations of the user interfaces of some intelligent systems currently available on the market. We also propose a user interface design paradigm, RMCP （role, modal, commands, and presentation style）, for intelligent systems, which emphasizes the consideration of the role（s） that an intelligent system plays in a user＇s life and work, the interaction modal（s） that the system can accommodate, the commands that the system supports, and the presentation style（s） that the system adopts for information outputs.
